Caution

"You are a very cautious person."

That was said to me by someone that knows me very well and I guess I hadn't ever thought of myself that way. I think I agree though. I was(and still am) that kid that asks a TON of questions. I always want to know what is going on. I want a plan. I make to do lists because I'll drive myself crazy trying to remember everything in my head. I tend to get on people's nerves with all my questions. The reason I think I agree with that statement above though, doesn't necessarily have anything to do with asking questions. I am learning that I learn by watching for the most part. I watch my friends go through situations, relationships, and friendships and I tend to watch and pay attention and draw conclusions from it. I don't like the fall on your butt and THEN learn your lesson approach. I am finding out more and more that I take some things slowly and carefully then other people do. It's comfortable I think. For example: I don't understand how anyone could jump into a dating relationship without a lot of thought, prayer, and time spent getting to know that person first. I realize some people are wired that way I guess but I am the opposite. I kind of view all that as like the less broken hearts the better. Why jump into something and risk so much when you can take it slow and know what you are getting into? This is where the speaker and I disagree. We have totally different views, hence the sentence, "You are a very cautious person." So I am pondering my cautiousness this week. I haven't thought much about it before but now it's there. I think I like that more than jumping into things because I want in all do to glorify God and I don't think I am going to glorify God as well on impulse as when I am praying and thinking about it.....Today's food for thought.
